Usually, a bride at her wedding has all the eyes trained on her outfit and styling but an Indian woman has left the internet amazed with her flexibility during the jaimala ceremony. A video of a woman bending over backwards during her wedding ritual has led to netizens calling her 'Matrix wali dulhan', which is a reference to Holywood cult action franchise The Matrix, featuring Keanu Reeves doing some gravity defying stunts. 

In a video that has been doing the rounds on the internet which has left the netizens in splits. During the jaimala ceremony, which requires the bride and groom to exchange garlands, marking their union, it is customary for both the parties to make the task for the other a little difficult. Mostly, people representing either sides, called the baratis, lift the bride and the groom off their feet making the process of putting the garland a little difficult. However, this bride was seen bending over backwards to the extent that she reminded fans of The Matrix scene in which Keanu Reeves (Neo) dodges oncoming bullets in a similar manner. The groom can't help but have a laugh in the moment as he tries his best to complete the jaimala ceremony. 

As the video surfaced online, some called the woman 'Matrix wali dulhan' and some praised her 'yoga' skills. One of the comments read, "Yoga guru (sic)."

The video was shared online with the caption, "Bend it like ... (sic)." It has gathered more than 1 million likes on Instagram and has been shared widely on digital media platforms.
